Over the past few years, artificial intelligence (AI) has transformed the world of work. With the rise of natural language chatbots like ChatGPT that produce human-like responses to user prompts, millions of people are discovering new and more efficient ways to get their tasks done.

But how exactly do these tools work? And more importantly, how can you make them work for you?

That’s where our AI for Business certificate comes in. It’s designed to help professionals understand the basics of AI and how the technology can be applied to their own business challenges.

We spoke with instructor Asad Choudhry to find out what students can expect from the certificate and what impact AI will have in the coming years. Read on for the highlights.

We developed the Online Project Management certificate to help team leads and managers thrive in this reality. 

This week, we interviewed the instructor, Janet Guaca, a virtual project management expert with over 20 years of experience in the field.

She walks us through some key challenges project managers are facing right now, and how this course can help.

But what exactly does that mean? What can you do to become a more effective virtual leader?
